1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Accurate prostate cancer screening is imperative for reducing the risk of cancer death. Ultrasound imaging, although easy, tends to have low resolution and high inter-observer variability. Here, we show that our integrated machine learning approach enabled the detection of pathological high-grade cancer by the ultrasound procedure. Our study included 772 consecutive patients and 2899 prostate ultrasound images obtained at the Nippon Medical School Hospital. We applied machine learning analyses using ultrasound imaging data and clinical data to detect high-grade prostate cancer. The area under the curve (AUC) using clinical data was 0.691. On the other hand, the AUC when using clinical data and ultrasound imaging data was 0.835 (p = 0.007). Our data-driven ultrasound approach offers an efficient tool to triage patients with high-grade prostate cancers and expands the possibility of ultrasound imaging for the prostate cancer detection pathway.
